The expiration logic doesn't handle hardcoded layout correctly resulting in layout being refreshed and subsequently spocs endpoint which makes it look like spocs are not loaded preventing the rendering of content.

The code in bug 1543800 introduced the regression while bug 1545122 flipped the pref to turn it on.

Leaving open to temporarily disable hardcoded layout

Maybe I was too proactive in reverting the pref. This problem seems to only happen for new profiles where the cache has no existing layout entry. So existing people on nightly have a cached layout and will see the hardcoded layout somewhat correctly.. maybe (?)

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible with the latest Firefox Nightly (68.0a1 Build ID - 20190429215338) installed, on Windows 10 x64, Arch Linux and Mac 10.13.3. Now, the articles are correctly loaded on each "New Tab" page.
